GlamScene caught up with our sexiest rocker at Z100′s Zooptopia concert… Here Chris Daughtry dishes on life on the road; promotes his hot new album; and attempts to skirt around American Idol chitchat.

How does it feel to be ‘you’ post American Idol?

CD: Uh. I’m the same person now that was when I went into that. I knew what I wanted. And I knew why I went into it. I’ve been doing this ever since I’m 16. It was weird for me because I was always used to having a band behind me. So to go up there and be naked on stage was a little weird for me. So it’s more about people appreciating what I did and seeing where it went after that. So [my life] hasn’t really changed much other than people know who I am now.

How do you feel about your song [I'm Coming Home] being the theme for American Idol?

CD: It’s good. I mean. When we recorded it, and put the record out, the [American Idol] producers heard it and thought it would be good. So, it’s like… Why not?

Who are you rooting to win American Idol?

CD: Who ever wins.

Have you been watching this season of American Idol?

CD: Uh. We’ve been on tour since the end of January. So there’s not a whole lot of TV watching. So I’ve probably seen like three episodes.

Are you happy to be seeing Katharine McPhee tonight for the Zootopia concert?

CD: Haven’t seen her… But she’s a good friend on mine.

How do you feel about opening for Nickelback?

CD: Oh we’re stoked. They’re an extremely successful band and we’re honored to be a part of that. We can only hope that next year [at] this time we’re doing as well as they’ve done. I’m a fan. And it’s gonna be really cool.

Are there parts about being on tour that you don’t like? All the traveling, etc.?

CD: I don’t think there is… I mean when you’re doing something you love so much…What sucks is when I was washing dishes… Doing jobs that I absolutely hated, knowing that I could be doing something else, and I couldn’t do it. So now, there’s nothing to complain about.

How do you feel about rock becoming more mainstream… and being played on pop stations?

CD: I guess the population of people who listen to pop radio is a lot bigger than people who listen to rock radio, so it’s great that we’re able to be on both.

How do you prepare before you go on stage? Any rituals?

Band Member: Disco dancing, no!?

CD: They do a lot of dancing . I’m warming up. I don’t know… We do warm ups, we pray, we give each other a hug, we get on stage and we do what we do.

You gave Fergie a huge hug backstage earlier… Are you two close friends?

CD: Oh , you know Fergie and I go way back! (Laughing.) I met her at the Billboard Music Awards and she was really nice, so I said hello.

Katharine McPhee has been keeping busy – a hit single, a new album, and a performance at Z100′s Zootopia concert. Here, the all-American sweetheart dishes on her post Idol whirlwind lifestyle… She even gives us some predictions for this week’s American Idol finale. Read GlamScene’s interview with the adorable chatty Katharine…

Tell us about your new upcoming single? When does it come out?

May 22nd. It’s called Love Story I’m really excited about it… It’s really fun. It’s like a fun summer song you know… Old school vibe to it. I don’t know. It’s more me, I think, than even the first.

Do you plan on touring?

Touring? Um. Well we’re doing this radio tour. This [Z100 Zootopia concert] is the exception to the touring right now. We haven’t gotten on any major tour… We’re going to be pretty busy promoting.

Who do you think will win on American Idol this season?

Um. I think probably maybe Jordan will win. But I hope Blake wins . I like Blake a lot. He’s just cool.

(Editor’s Note: Katharine starts touching her nose) Oh, excuse me as I pick my nose. It’s itchy.

Why do you think Melinda got voted off American Idol last week?

The Westerners finally came to their senses. Not in a bad way toward Melinda. But the Westerners started voting finally. I always thought for sure Melinda would probably win because of the southern vote. Um. I don’t know. I loved Melinda. Wait, what was the question?… I don’t know…

How does it feel to be at Zootopia today?

So exciting. I’m like trying to conserve my voice. This is really a lot of stuff for everyone to like come forward tonight and then to do it all over again tomorrow. I think most of us are all doing the Boston show tomorrow. It’s a blast. I didn’t put on any make up for this. I put on eyeliner and mascara and was like “shoot.” Look at all the photographers over there.

Speaking of no makeup… You just posed for People magazine without makeup. What kind of a reaction are you getting?

Um. You know what. I think people think posing without making is kinda cool. I think it’s kinda cool! I didn’t love the picture, but of course I knew that was gonna happen. I was like I’m gonna pose with no makeup and then I’m gonna hate the way I look! But it was fun. The photo shoot was amazing. I got to be on like a big white board. I was very honored and I’m very thankful.

What concerts have you been to recently. Whose shows do you admire?

Fergie has a lot of money behind that show. She’s very entertaining. And I’m like “one day I will have a big band like that with all those dancers!” I just enjoy watching her.

You’ll be traveling internationally soon. What are you looking forward to most?

Just to see how the different market out there. [To experience] the different music out there…  They don’t know me as much as American Idol as America does.

Are you excited to hang out with Chris tonight a the concert?

Chris Daughtry? Yeah, he texted me last night but I was too tired to go out to the bar and hang out with him and the guys. But I’m gonna hang out with him tomorrow night. Such a nice guy. I’m really proud of him.
